Zikhronot (memory): "Memory is divine because it allows us to time travel in a certain sense."

"Memory isn't only accountability. It's also the zechut. It's a merit. That's part of why we recite those verses too, so that we're not only accountable, but we also get the privilege of standing on the shoulders of all the goodness that came before us so that we're not alone in it, and we're held up in some way by all the holiness and goodness of the past as well."
